• The DREAM Act: Opportunity or Exploitation

  May 11, 2010

  Immigration reform is on everyone's mind after the recent passage of SB 1070 in Arizona recently, but one of the bills being considered in Congress has its own downside. The Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act--the DREAM Act--is a bipartisan bill offering a road to citizenship for undocumented minors who attend college or join the military. But our guests today found out that more and more, what seems like an opportunity winds up pushing youth into military service--and not guaranteeing their reward on the other end.

  There were plenty of big stories this week, from Obama's healthcare pick to an economy that continues to "surprise." But it was, at least for awhile, the divisions within The Republican party that dominated the airwaves.
